(Closed) First Time Dress Shopping Made me Feel HUGE! PIC HEAVY

I went dress shopping with my Mom today to gander and try on dresses. I found what I thought was “the one”(my Mom cried)at the first store. Just as a back up, I went to another store and tried on a few more dresses and had no luck. It wasn’t until the 3rd store where I found two that I really liked. Honestly, since my weight gain, I don’t even recognize who I am and I felt like complete crap in each and every dress. From these pictures I look awful and frumpy and honestly I don’t know what fits best. I was just cleared by my doctor last week that I can start working out, so I will be starting that this week!

Well it looks like you have quite some time between now and your wedding, so that’ll give you time to work out and feel more confident! I myself have been trying to lose weight and I’m coming up on the home stretch (3 months before the wedding) it’s hard but so worth it. Do you have a weight loss goal?

The dresses are beautiful princess gowns and you will look beautiful no matter what size you are.

The first one reminds me of a more poofy version of my gown, Maggie Sottero Anniston.

I don’t think you look huge, I think the dresses you’ve tried on make your figure look great. If you’re worried/upset about it I think you have time to lose some weight. Honestly though I think you look amazing,. I would pick the first dress!

I think third one is the most flattering cut by far, but I’m not a fan of the top. The first dress makes you look hippy, and the second dress isn’t too bad, but I think the belt cuts you off and just takes away from your figure. Maybe 2 would be good without a belt… Anyhoo, three fits very nicely on you, I just don’t like the design of the top part… honestly, it looks a little like a butt… 😉 I’d suggest find a cut like the Allure and just a bit of a different design up top. However, if you like all 3 of them equally and are just asking which one is most flattering, definitely Allure!

However, if you’re planning on working out/losing weight beforehand, you probably don’t want to buy a dress yet! You might feel completely different in another style down the road. ^_^

I went dress shopping this weekend and tried on 45 dresses! ‘The One’ was dress number 25. I would say your size has nothing to do with it… It’s just that you haven’t found the one that makes you feel a million dollars yet!!
